Abstract

Not only production processes but also transmission and distribution systems are of great importance in ensuring the reliable delivery of electrical energy to users. In energy transmission systems, voltage is increased and current is reduced as much as possible to minimize transmission losses. Accurate, reliable, and highly sensitive measurement of electrical voltage levels is essential, especially in high-voltage transmission lines supplying large urban centers. Safety is also a crucial element in transmission systems. Fault diagnosis techniques have been developed for high voltage. For this, measuring voltage quickly, with high accuracy and sensitivity, is critical for a rapid response to faults. High-voltage probes are frequently used for measurement in monitoring and protecting transmission systems. To measure in a transmission system, the voltage is reduced to a measurable value using a resistive divider or capacitive divider. The connected equivalent circuit should not affect the system's characteristics. Therefore, an 80 MΩ high-voltage probe was designed and its performance was compared with a commercial 1000 MΩ high-voltage probe. Measurements were made with an error margin of less than 3% using the 80 MΩ high-voltage probe. However, environmental conditions and the measurement method can alter the measured value. Errors in measurement should be minimized with the correct measurement method. High accuracy has been achieved by using a voltage divider circuit that reduces the voltage by a ratio of 1000:1 to prevent leakage current and corona formation.

Özet

Elektrik enerjisinin güvenilir bir şekilde kullanıcılara ulaştırılabilmesi açısından yalnızca üretim süreçleri değil, iletim ve dağıtım sistemleri de büyük önem taşımaktadır. Enerji iletim sistemlerinde iletim kayıplarını azaltmak için gerilim yükseltilir; akım mümkün olduğu kadar düşürülür. Özellikle büyük yerleşim merkezlerini besleyen yüksek gerilim iletim hatlarında elektrik gerilim seviyelerinin doğru, güvenilir ve yüksek hassasiyetle ölçülmesi elzemdir. Ayrıca iletim sistemlerinde güvenlik de önemli bir unsurdur. Yüksek gerilim konusunda arıza teşhisi belirleme teknikleri geliştirilmiştir. Bunun için arızalara karşı hızlı yanıt vermek amacıyla gerilimi hızlı, yüksek doğruluk ve hassasiyetle ölçmek kritik öneme sahiptir. Yüksek gerilim probları iletim sistemlerinin izlenmesinde ve korunmasında ölçüm yapmak için sıklıkla kullanılır. İletim sisteminde ölçüm yapabilmek için direnç bölücü veya kapasitif bölücü ile gerilim ölçülebilecek değere düşürülür. Sistemin karakteristiğini bozmaması açısından bağlanan eş değer devre sistemi etkilememelidir. Bu nedenle 80 MΩ’luk bir yüksek gerilim probu tasarlanmış ve ticari bir 1000 MΩ’luk yüksek gerilim probu ile performansları bakımından karşılaştırılmıştır. 80 MΩ’luk yüksek gerilim probu ile %3’ün altında hata payı ile ölçüm yapılmıştır. Bununla birlikte çevresel şartlar ve ölçme yöntemi ölçüm değerini değiştirebilir. Doğru ölçme yöntemiyle ölçümde yapılan hatalar en aza indirilmelidir. Kaçak akım ve korona oluşmaması için gerilimi 1000:1 oranında düşüren gerilim bölücü devresinin kullanılmasıyla yüksek doğruluğa ulaşılmıştır.
